Pyramid Series Proximity Reader

Model P-400 Gibraltar Proximity Reader

• Bullet proof and flame resistant

• Designed for high crime areas
where vandalism is a problem

• Virtually impossible to pry off a
wall or mullion

• Perfect for inner city housing projects

The P-400 Gibraltar Proximity Reader, the latest member of Keri’s Pyramid Series Proximity line of
readers, cards, and tags, is designed for use in areas where crime and vandalism are a constant threat.

Unique to the access control industry, the P-400’s enclosure is milled out of a single piece of stainless steel
and is beveled such that it is nearly impossible to pry it off a wall. Protecting the window through which
the proximity electronics read a card or tag is a material known as Fiber-Tex®. Capable of withstanding a
9-mm bullet fired at point blank range and UL-752 listed for bulletproof integrity, Fiber-Tex is
manufactured using interwoven layers of fiberglass combined with a super-tough polymer. Additionally
the electronics are sealed in epoxy potting, making the P-400 appropriate for installation indoors or out
doors, in the most demanding of access control environments.

The P-400 is ideal for applications where other types of readers (including proximity) may fail due to
vandalism to the reader itself. Many applications do not lend themselves to concealment of a reader inside
or behind a wall, so the reader must be exposed to the environment. Examples of applications for the P­400 may include housing projects, prisons, schools and universities, hospitals, and military facilities.

Compatible with virtually every manufacturer’s access control system, the single piece P-400 outputs data
in industry standard pass-through Wiegand data formats. The P-400’s read range is up to 1 inch (25mm)
and it operates from 5 to 14 VDC at a nominal current draw of 90 mA, allowing for flexibility in the use of
power supplies. In most cases it can be powered directly from the access control panel. Additionally the
P-400 includes an audio tone and has several built in diagnostic functions including a start up self-check
and data line test.

A complete line of access credentials that may be used interchangeably with any Pyramid Series Proximity
Reader complements the P-400. These credentials include the PSC-1 Light Proximity Card featuring a
lifetime warranty, the dye sublimation printable ISO-thin PSM-2 Multi-Technology Proximity Card
available with a magnetic stripe, and one of the smallest, most durable credentials available, the PSK-3

Proximity Key Ring Tag.
